Honor-based violence (HBV) is a crime committed to protect or defend the honor of a family and/or a community. It is usually triggered by the victim's behavior, which the family and/or community regards as causing offense or dishonor. HBV has existed for thousands of years but has only very recently become a focus of law enforcement, policy makers, and statutory and non-statutory agencies. A volume in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series, Honor-Based Violence: Policing and Prevention is designed to assist all those who confront these crimes in understanding what HBV is, how it can be recognized, and how we can support the victims, families, and communities that experience it. Topics include: An overview of what is known about the psychological and cultural factors relevant to understanding of HBV Gaps in current knowledge and the strengths and weaknesses of various investigative and management strategies Factors related to risk assessment of HBV Best practices, based on the authors' experience, for individuals involved in all levels of policing HBV-from first responders to those involved in strategic management How working in partnership with multiple agencies can reduce risk, support investigations, and help protect victims The importance of sensitivity toward differences in race, culture, and religion The research and best practices are drawn largely from the work done by the Violent Crime Directorate of the Metropolitan Police Service (London, UK) managed by authors Gerry Campbell and Glen Lloyd. The accessible style of this text makes it a valuable resource for law enforcement and policing professionals who investigate these crimes and a suitable textbook for policing and criminal justice courses.

Gern komme ich der Aufforderung nach, die der Bruder des verstorbenen Verfassers an mich gerichtet hat, dieses Buch durch ein paar einleitende Worte zu begleiten. Hinter dem zu bescheiden gewahlten Titel der Schrift steht die Absicht dieses Denkers, dessen vorzeitigen Heimgang man nicht genug beklagen kann, der Kultursoziologie zu der ihr so dringend notwendigen Systematik zu verhelfen und ihr ein Gerust an Kategorien und Begriffen zu geben, das erst diesen Zweig der allgemeinen Soziologie zu einer geschlossenen Wissenschaft macht. Sie lauft sonst Gefahr, sich in Kulturgeschichte aufzuloesen oder ein Feld willkurlicher Spekulationen zu werden. Hier beseitigt das Werk Fischers eine klaffende Lucke. Es gibt uns ein geistiges Handwerkszeug, das sich, so hoffe ich, allmahlich als unentbehrlich erweisen wird. Besonders seine Kategorie der Koinen und die Gegen- uberstellung von sinnheitlichen und wirkheitlichen Zusammenhangen, die den Gegensatz von Kultur und Gesellung glucklich verdeutlichen, ist eine wesentliche Bereicherung. Fischer unterscheidet eine beziehungswissenschaftliche und eine kultursozio- logische Richtung, wie es wohl seit dem Erscheinen des Handwoenerbuches der Soziologie ublich geworden ist. Er selbst stellt sich auf den Boden der Kultur- soziologie, wahrend der Schreiber dieser Zeilen die beziehungswissenschaftliche Schauweise pflegt. Er sagt uber den Gegensatz: Wahrend die beziehungswissen- schaftliche Soziologie die Gesellungsgebilde (Gruppen) und die Beziehungen der zugehoerigen Einzelmenschen zum Hauptobjekt der soziologischen Forschung macht, geht die Kultursoziologie der hier vertretenen An von einem umfassen- deren Gebilde, dem kulturell-gesellschaftlichen Wirkegebilde, aus, das die Ge- selhmgseinheiten neben den kollektivgeistigen Inhalten als Elemente enthalt.
